Colleen's POV

Today is the day that me and Josh preform Romeo and Juliet for drama. I'm so nervous about the kiss. I'm not good enough to kiss Josh Evans. Plus  I'm not looking forward to going back to school where everyone's just gonna make fun of me. Heather and Teeny heard about what happened and instantly comforted me. I'm happy I have those two back. They're pretty great. "Colleen you should probably get going or you'll be late." my mom shouts from the kitchen. " Ok." I call back slipping on my flats. I grab my backpack and head outside.
When I arrive at school I get a lot of dirty looks and snickers. I just hold my books closer to my chest and keep my head down. When I'm finally away from the vicious monsters aka teenagers I walk to biology  since I had it first. I sank down in my chair trying to forget everything. The bell rings and everyone starts piling in. I see Josh and he waves. I wave back and give a shy smile. Heather slid into her desk behind me and I turned to face her. "I'm so nervous for drama." I say biting my lip. " Don't worry you'll do great." she says. I nod trying to relax, but I can't get the thought out of my head that this is actually happening.

I was on my way to lunch and I saw Rebecca in the hall way whispering and snickering to some of her friends. I walk by quickly and they all look at me and laugh. " Oh hey Colleen." Rebecca says. I ignore her and walk into the cafeteria. I sit down at our usual table and pick at my lunch. " You ok Colleen?" Teeny asks me. " Yeah." I say giving a fake smile. " Hey where's Josh?" Kory asks looking around. I l notice Josh isn't sitting with us. I look around and spot him with Rebecca in the corner. I see her whispering to him and immediately my stomach starts to turn. I can feel she's talking about me. "What's he doing with her?" Teeny asks disgusted. I shrug and pretend to be ok.
I grab my books and excuse myself to the lockers. I see Josh in the locker room and wave but he doesn't wave back. " Um hi." he says approaching me. " Hey." I say back. " So are you ready for drama." I ask. " Um about that I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that anymore." he says. " W-what do you mean?" I ask. " I'm sorry Colleen but I'd rather not work with you." he says. " Oh." I say quietly taken aback. "I'm really sorry." he says sadly like he means it. " Why?" I ask on the verge of tears but hold them back. " Look I really gotta go." he says and walks away. I swallow the lump in my throat and feel a tear trickle down my throat. I don't know why I'm surprised. This always happens with me. It was too good to be true anyways. Students start filling the halls and I start feeling anxious. I run out of the school as tears are blinding my face. I get in my car and drive somewhere where I can just let go of everything. I park my car on the cliffs of Santa Barbara and sit near the edge and just relax. I so needed this. I wish I weren't such a loser. This is exactly what happened at my old school except without a hot guy that I'm madly in love with. But, some things never change.
